Hindu devotees climb the steps to Batu Caves temple during Thaipusam in Kuala Lumpur
Hindu devotees climb the steps to Batu Caves temple during Thaipusam in Kuala Lumpur February 3, 2015. Hindu devotees across Malaysia on Tuesday celebrated Thaipusam, a religious celebration dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Murugan.
Piercing various parts of their body with silver skewers, devotees carry often large contraptions known as Kavadi, thereby taking on a physical burden through which the devotees implore for help from Murugan. Devotees also fulfill vows by carrying milk-filled pots up the stairs to the cave temple. REUTERS/Olivia Harris (MALAYSIA - Tags: SOCIETY RELIGION TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of devotion and unity as Hindu devotees climb the majestic steps leading to Batu Caves temple during Thaipusam in Kuala Lumpur. The image, taken on February 3,2015, showcases the religious celebration dedicated to Lord Murugan that takes place annually in Malaysia. In this awe-inspiring scene, worshippers can be seen piercing various parts of their bodies with silver skewers while carrying elaborate contraptions known as Kavadi. These acts symbolize a physical burden undertaken by devotees who implore for help from Lord Murugan. Additionally, fulfilling vows is an integral part of Thaipusam, and here we witness devotees carrying milk-filled pots up the stairs towards the cave temple. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur of both nature and architecture surrounding this sacred site. The statue of Lord Murugan stands tall against a backdrop of blue skies and fluffy clouds, creating an atmosphere filled with faith and light. Olivia Harris skillfully captures not only the religious ceremony but also highlights elements such as sculpture, worship processions, and people coming together to celebrate their shared beliefs. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both tradition and modernity within its frame. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Olivia Harris for Reuters Images, we are reminded of the deep spiritual connection between individuals and their place of worship during Thaipusam - a festival that unites people from all walks of life under one divine purpose.
